FB Lawrence Vickers signs 2-year deal with Cowboys

The Cowboys have agreed to a two-year deal with fullback Lawrence Vickers, meaning Tony Fiammetta’s brief yet productive time with the club has come to an end.

Vickers played for Houston last season after spending his first five years in the league with Cleveland. He is a blocker first and foremost, with just 34 rushing attempts and 45 receptions in his career.He has three touchdowns in his career, all on receptions.

The Cowboys were expected to extend a $1.26 million tender offer to retain Fiammetta. But when the NFL docked the club $10 million over the next two seasons on the eve of free agency, their plans changed.
